[Updated] New Shinji Mikami Game Called The Evil Within

[Update] The first teaser for the game is live at IGN. Additionally, Bethesda has shared via Instagram that they will be doling out more details starting Monday April 22, 2013. For now you'll have to content yourself with monsters crawling out of blood and a person (?) furiously creating barbed wire.

[Original Story]

My money was on a new Wolfenstein game (and I was wrong), but IGN has just confirmed that they will have the exclusive first look at Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami's next project tomorrow. Tune in at 5 AM Pacific / 8 AM Eastern for the reveal. The title has been in production under the code name "Zwei."

Finally! I can't wait to see how Mikami will reinvent the horror genre again. Resident Evil was huge, RE4 was amazing, and now he's doing this. And it already looks like a purer horror focused retail title than the dumb, mindless, over-produced action of sh** like Dead Space and Resident Evil 6. Bethesda, you guys are killing it - literally, I can't think of even a disappointing game you guys have shipped this generation (except maybe Brink, but even that wasn't truly bad). Keep on killing it, guys!

i think the survival horror genre has been in need of a jump start for a while (though there have been a few great entries here and there), and this looks pretty great. it's too bad we have to wait until 2014 to play it.

also, does anyone else think it is funny that so many of these game announcements are releasing on both current and next gen consoles? i know they want as many customers as possible, but wouldn't it help the next gen if said game were ONLY available on next gen consoles? i'm just thinking out loud (while typing).
